What about Austria? Ok, I'm writing with an german e-mail address but I live
in Austria. There are enough people here which believe in Free Software and
will work for the FSF. Georg Jakob is a lawyer who is writing his PhD thesis
about Free software and he made a first attempt for the rules for a organisation 
here. What kind of organisation wil you use in Germany? "Eingetragener
Verein?

I think we can use the LUGs here as a starting point for the members. 
Yes I know there is more than Linux in the Free Sofware World, but it is not
necessary to start from scratch.
 
Kind regards
